One year, when I was about 10, they had a party (we never had parties) to celebrate the official opening of their recently created "real bar" (hand-pumped beers, optics, dartboard) in a corner of their "lounge" (we had a sitting room) and we were going to stay there (we always stayed at Nan's).

Our work has sometimes been the explicit bull's eye on the dartboard, as conservative ideologues sought to extinguish the independent reporting and analysis they find so threatening to their phobic worldview.
